someone else with theirs. They have to remind us of this because it’s<br />
counterintuitive—unless you are a sociop<strong>at</strong>h, it’s your n<strong>at</strong>ure to help. Few<br />
things light up the human heart like helping/bringing joy to others. Trust in<br />
the fact th<strong>at</strong> when you’re well taken care of financially, you’ll be even more<br />
poised, and inspired, to spread the love.<br />
Our world, now more than ever, needs as many compassion<strong>at</strong>e, cre<strong>at</strong>ive,<br />
bighearted, conscious people to be as rich as possible so we can turn this<br />
mother around. I mean, imagine if you and all the people you love and respect<br />
had assloads of money? And if they felt gr<strong>at</strong>eful and empowered by it, not<br />
icky and guilty? And if they could afford to spend it on themselves and others<br />
and on saving our planet in ways th<strong>at</strong> uplifted everyone involved? Please take<br />
a moment to really envision the specifics of this as it pertains to yourself and<br />
the spectacular people in your life. Take them all one by one and imagine how<br />
they’d feel, who they’d become, wh<strong>at</strong> they’d spend their newfound wealth on.<br />
If yer peeps are anything like mine, it makes the whole concept of being rich<br />
something worth writing a love song about.<br />
There is no such thing as too much awesome.<br />
I’ma go ahead and say it out loud (join me, won’t you?): I love money.<br />
There’s no need for explan<strong>at</strong>ions or apologies. I also love pizza and I can say<br />
th<strong>at</strong> without tacking on a bunch of disclaimers: I love pizza, but, you know, it’s<br />
not everything. Spending time with people you love and being of service are<br />
important too. Let’s take back the word “money” and decriminalize it,<br />
because until you do, you aren’t going to be terribly motiv<strong>at</strong>ed to let yourself<br />
make much. I’ve been broke and sad, rich and sad, broke and happy, rich and<br />
happy, and I’ll take the rich version over the broke version all day long.<br />
Because money gives you freedom and options and I really love freedom and<br />
options. Who doesn’t?<br />
While we’re <strong>at</strong> it, let’s go ahead and decriminalize rich people, shall we?<br />
Contrary to popular belief, the rich are just people, they’re not intrinsically<br />
filthy, nor do they deserve to be killed, e<strong>at</strong>en, or robbed. We live in a society<br />
th<strong>at</strong>’s made a sport out of judging people with lots of money, so regardless of<br />
how you feel in your conscious mind about the rich, i.e., Some of my best<br />
friends are rich! it’s important to be aware of any neg<strong>at</strong>ive beliefs you may be<br />
harboring deep down. Of course, there are some rich people who totally suck,<br />
but some of them are awesome, just as some poor people totally suck and<br />
some of them are awesome. The problem is th<strong>at</strong> it’s socially acceptable to roll<br />
our eyes when someone drives by in a Bentley or talks about how very many<br />
dollars they made this year, meanwhile it’s part of normal convers<strong>at</strong>ion to<br />
complain about how broke you are or to announce th<strong>at</strong> you got your boots for
